The Ten Bells Pub

  • Stop at the Ten Bells Pub, where our Specialist Trained Ripperologist will continue the eery story of how Jack lured the working girls of this pub to their fate. The Ten Bells is indelibly linked with the Jack the Ripper Story and still looks much like it did in 1888.

Ripperology

Ghastly Headlines

The term “ripperology” was coined to describe the study and analysis of the Ripper cases.

Because the murders were never solved, the legends surrounding them became a combination of genuine historical research, folklore, and pseudohistory. There are over one hundred theories about the Ripper’s identity, and the murders have inspired multiple works of fiction.
